Many of you know I am still in a wheelchair as I broke my right ankle badly and spained my left. A quilter and member here, she knows who she is!, said she was sending me a squishy to brighten my day. Well it turned into a box of goodies and I was astounded. WOW is all I can say. She made not only my day but the almost 4 weeks I have been laid up and unable to sew except by hand. What a great group of people here--quilters are the best!

surprise's or squishes do make your day! Hope your ankles heal quickly.

we are cheering you on for a speedy recovery!

That is great Franie!! Hope you enjoy everything in your package and that you are feeling better every day.
Hugs

that is so great, what awesome gifts

So sorry you've been laid up. Broken or sprained...neither is fun and both is just over the top!

But squishies do help make it better.

Prayers for speedy recovery (I know you feel like it's taken much too long already...I certainly did when I broke my foot years ago)

How nice! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

OK, I'm new here, what is a squishy? (sounds like something I clean out of the back of the veg. bin in the fridge)

PTquilts I just love the sound of your squishy, I have had a few of them. lol

it's awful when you find them with your fingers before you see them with your eyes.

But I still don't know what Franie got??

Frannie got a box of "fun things". Could be anything, like candy, magazines, material, stuff like that. A squishy is kind of a present. :)

Hope your ankles are getting better Frannie! Let us know what the doctor says! We need you at your Lizzy and back on the board (full time) We miss you!

Hope you will soon be back up and about easily. Sending you big hugs for a good recovery.

Take care of yourself, hope you have a speeded recovery. enjoy your goodies :thumbup:

good for you franie...and bless the quilter! :thumbup:

Oh Franie,
I hope you heal soon.

Usually means an envelope of fabric that feels soft and squishy when you pull it out of the mailbox. So Franie was expecting an envelope, but actually got a box!


Franie, best wishes for a speedy recovery!

LMBO!!!! Oh my, that was good. It's an envelope with fabric in it.

Frannie hope you get to feeling better soon!!!!

I pray you will soon be back to your old normal! It is no fun being confined and not able to do what you love best. When someone brightens your day, it is really a good feeling.

How sweet of her! I hope you're out of the wheel chair soon :-)

I am sorry to hear of your ankles but glad to hear of such a wonderful friend on this board. Hoping you are back on your feet soon - literally!!

Aw, hugs!!!!!!!!! Hope you are better soon, and enjoy all your goodies!!!!!!

Squishy is wonderful when it is a box of goodies. How great to have such a good and thoughtful quilter friend. Hope you are up and about soon.

squishie is a soft bundle you get in the mail or as a surprise gift from someone, It used to many years ago always contain as we called it back then material. now fabric

Aren't surprises to brighten day just wonderful.. Take good care of yourself.

isn't it nice when someone does something nice just out of the blue. have fun with what you have. and get well soon

Take care Frannie. Hope you will be up and about soon.

I have great sympathy for your injuries. Last winter I slipped on the ice and broke my right wrist very badly. Yes, of course I am right handed. With surgery - three weeks after the break, and recovery, I was out of commission for 3 months. No job AND no quilting. Losing my mind! I finally did a cross stitch project with my left hand. Ver-r-ry slowly but I had to do something! Rapid recovery wishes coming your way.

That's so awesome....how sweet of someone to bless you. Hoping you recover soon and will be back at it! :)

Hope you recover soon.

I know what is like to be laid up I had surgery on the bottom of my foot and could not walk on it no fun,and I hope you heal soon

Glad you received something that made you smile.Positive attitudes facilitate healing. Wishing you reasons to smile brightly. Adding you to my novena list for healing.

I had never heard of squishies before. It sounds like you have a very generous friend. I hope you are up dancing around your quilting soon.

Quilters are the best. Hope your recovery is short.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. :)

Hope you get well quickly :thumbup:

Get up and hopping soon will keep you in my prayers.

thats great and i am hoping you are back to good ASAP, isnt it nice to know someone cares about you having a great day

I am still marveling over my box of goodies! By the way, did I mention there was chocolate in my box of goodies? Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes. They are working! Dr said it is healing nicely and I can start to put some weight on my broken ankle. Still have the boot for a while yet. Gonna try sewing with my left foot.

Sorry about your ankle, can understand what you are going through. Had an open fracture to my left ankle and was wheel chair bound for 6 months, then almost a year of therapy after 2 surgeries. Good luck and keep the Squishys coming.

My sister breaks (car) with her left foot. Not a pretty sight - at least not for the passenger (me!) LOL Be careful, don't run over your fingers!!!!!

Very glad to hear you are healing well.
